Ok, I've got a bit more info here...after looking pretty darn close at the mod_rewrite log output, the line;
(2) prefixed with document_root to d:/data/apache/www/html/mathfactcafe/java-mfc/jsp/gmain.jsp;jsessionid=rmoxmq6gj1 It appears that the path prefixed was to my web directory...not my tomcat jsp directory; I guess that's why I get a 404 page not found error. I played around with this stuff a bit more. It appears that if I do a <jsp:forward/> to a link with a jsessionid, everything works ok. But, anything that goes directly to the web server (e.g. an HREF) with a jsessionid in it still gets a 404 page not found error. Why is mod_rewrite putting the doc root on it? Since only URLs with a jsessionid in it are bound for my tomcat jsp directory, should I write a new rule to create a new path to the tomcat jsp root? Just seems like something must be configured wrong since the url's work fine without the jsessionid...but then they are not going through mod_rewrite and getting the web directory prefixed on them rather than the tomcat jsp directory. :-( /paul At 10:13 AM 12/1/2001 -0700, Paul Carver wrote: >I've read a lot of messages regarding this problem, but still can't figure >out the solution (so you might want to read everything here before >replying).
